      Hmmm...the hair parted in the middle bothers me a bit. Gordon has had many hairdos, but pre-Miller, it's usually either slicked back (Golden and Silver Age), or parted on the left (Bronze Age). In Miller's Dark Knight it was parted down the middle, and in Year One and many stories afterward it was shown as a shaggy comb forward.

      His coat looks a bit too orange, but it may be the photo.

      Not bad, but it's not screaming Jim Gordon to me the way Alfred did.

        Wow that is pretty cool. I like the detailed sculpt. I wonder if this means wave 4 will be another Bat-wave?

            Now I can do my William Howard Taft custom that has been on the back burner.

              They already have the Supes and Shazam head for sale in their inventory. Me thinks it could be Superman, Shazam, and maybe Aquaman. That would cover the remaining DC product from those early Mego releases.

                surprised that the first two new figures are "old guys in suits" I thought that they were usually duds according to Doc Mego.

                    These new head sculpts (Alfred, Comm.Gordon) are looking......SHARP AND BEAUTIFUL!!! Just hope that the head will be shrunk to proper ratio size with the body.

                      Pretty neat stuff. This is a new golden age, methinks.

                        Alright. I'm sure this will sell, but c'mon, right after Alfred?

                        Two old guys in suits shouldn't be the focus. Sorry, but it's the Lex Luthor scenario in-action, pun intended.

                        The one advantage is FTC direct sales, so they don't have the peg-space fight to worry about.

                        I'm hoping Gordon's not the only new one in another rehash wave, but only the Museum Lords know...

                          I'm hoping the trench coat goes on sale in the parts store.

                            I'm glad to see "old guys in suits". I have never understood why every frickin' character who ever walked into a frame of a Star Wars film got a figure, but it takes an act of congress for important supporting characters from super hero comics to get one. I think the lack of traditional retail orders is making this possible, and I'm all for it. I would have killed for Gordon and Alfred as a kid. They are integral to any Batman play scenario.

                              Star Wars characters got figures because the majority were monsters, robots or space soldiers/knights/pirates. No kid was begging for a Mon Mothma.

                              I get a Gordon and Alfred for the '66 line. They were integral to the show.
